[Verse 1]

If you really don't believe me

You can tell me that I'm wrong

And I'd really like to look around

But my nightlight won't turn on


[Pre-Chorus 1]

It won't turn on

It won't turn on

It won't turn on


[Chorus]

And you know it's gonna hurt

And you never say a word


[Verse 2]

If you want to understand me

Sometimes you have to read the lines

As my tear-soaked pillow drowns me

I can see through all your lies


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Through all your lies

Through all your lies

Through all your lies


[Refrain 1]

And you don't want me to curse

Well fuck you

And you want me to smile

Well I try to


[Chorus]

And you know it's gonna hurt

And you never say a word


[Verse 3]

And every tree you've planted

Just turns back into dirt

And you know just what you prayed for

Well, I'm proof that doesn't work


[Pre-Chorus 3]

It doesn't work

It doesn't work

It doesn't work

It doesn't work


[Bridge]

The spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again

Spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again

Spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again

The spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again

For me, for me


[Refrain 2]

And I wanted to change

So I did

And I want to die
